The Boston Celtics defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 102–94 on January 26 at TD Garden, falling short of the 223.5-point Vegas total in a defensive grind. Paige Pritchard led Boston with 23 points while Jaylen Brown added 20, as the Celtics shot 43.3 percent from the field and connected on 13 three-pointers to control the pace. Portland's Jerami Grant posted 19 points and Timothe Camara contributed 18, but the Blazers struggled early, scoring just 11 points in the opening quarter before mounting a second-half comeback that fell short. Boston's defense was stifling down the stretch, posting a 95.7 defensive rating while forcing 18 Portland turnovers; the Celtics also dominated the glass advantage despite being outrebounded 46–41. Portland's third-quarter surge (28 points) and fourth-quarter push (29 points) proved insufficient to overcome the first-quarter deficit and Boston's balanced attack across 24 assists. The result strengthens Boston's position in the Eastern Conference standings while Portland faces continued inconsistency in its road performance.
